Since the beginning of the year by projects Traffic Management Center (TsODD) equipped five turbo-ring intersections at the intersection of Tallinskaya Street and Kulakov Street, Presnensky Val Street with Khodynskaya Street and Bolshoi Tishinsky Lane, Trikotazhny Proezd and the exit to and from the Moscow Ring Road (MKAD), as well as at Akademika Kurchatova and Romain Rolland Squares.
"Following Sergei Sobyanin's instructions, we're improving road safety and creating comfortable traffic conditions. Thanks to the TsODD projects, five more turbo-roundabout intersections have been built since the beginning of the year. Drivers can now navigate these sections 10 percent faster. Turbo-roundabout markings are an effective method for organizing roundabouts, reducing the number of traffic accidents by an average of 10-15 percent," he explained.
Maxim Liksutov, Deputy Mayor of Moscow for Transport and Industry.
"Turbo" markings on roundabouts improve traffic conditions: travel time is reduced, and travel safety and comfort are increased. A distinctive feature of these markings is that the lanes are designed to minimize lane changes. Drivers simply need to choose a direction and take the correct lane according to the sign before the intersection, and then follow the markings. On a regular roundabout, the markings guide traffic around the roundabout in two or three lanes, while on turbo roundabouts, the markings are guiding. Drivers can see in advance which lane they need to be in to make left, right, or straight turns at the roundabout. Drivers entering the turbo roundabout can also use the signs and take the correct lane in advance, reducing unnecessary lane changes, braking, and related minor accidents. This speeds up travel through the roundabout, hence the name "turbo roundabout."
Thanks to the TsODD projects, 18 "turbo rings" have already opened in the capital since 2019. They are primarily being installed at complex intersections with heavy traffic.
